    Strawberry Fields Forever

    On this day 15 years ago the gates of the Liverpool ’Strawberry Fields’ Children’s home were taken down and put into storage.

    “Let me take you down
    'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
    Nothing is real
    And nothing to get hung about”

    It was 20 years ago today that the Strawberry Fields Children’s Centre was closed forever.

    “Living is easy with eyes closed
    Misunderstanding all you see
    It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
    It doesn't matter much to me”

  10. Episode ninety is up now! Today's song is The Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields.

    I discuss the sarcastic yet sweet lyrics of the song, as well as Peter Gabriel's saccharine yet beautiful cover, and its excellent use in the finale of Scrubs.

  11. The Scotsman (PG Steam Beats)

    Sure, it's a simple A+B mashup. But I wanted an easy way to toss "The Scotsman" into my mix at @norwescon, and the original's an acapella, so why not add some backing beats from Peter Gabriel's "Steam"?

    I debuted this one on Thursday at #NWC46 a couple months ago. Unfortunately, I saved it for what I thought would be peak time…and peak time never happened, so maybe (_maybe_) ten people heard this at con. But now you can hear it here!

  12. "Thick cloud, steam rising
    Hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
    Around me, buffalo roam
    Sage in bundle, rub on skin

    Outside, cold air
    Stand, and wait for rising sun
    Red paint, eagle feathers
    Coyote calling, it has begun

    Something moving in, I taste it in my mouth
    And in my heart
    It feels like dying, slow
    Letting go of life

    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)

    Medicine man lead me up though town
    Indian ground, so far down
    Cut up land, each house, a pool
    Kids wearing water wings, drink in cool

    Follow dry river bed, watch Scout and Guides
    Make pow-wow signs
    Past Geronimo's disco
    Sittin' Bull steakhouse, white men dream

    A rattle in the old man's sack, see
    Look at mountain top, keep climbing up
    Way above us the desert snow
    White wind blow

    I hold the line
    The line of strength that pulls me through the fear
    San Jacinto
    I hold the line
    San Jacinto
    The poison bite and darkness take my sight
    I hold the line
    And the tears roll down my swollen cheek
    Think I'm losing it, getting weaker

    I hold the line!
    I hold the line!
    San Jacinto
    Yellow eagle flies down from the sun
    From the sun

    We will walk, on the land
    We will breathe, of the air
    We will drink, from the stream
    We will live, hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line"
    - #PeterGabriel, #SanJacinto, 1982

    From Songfacts:
    "The song explores the culture clash between #NativeAmericans and modern America, and features a Lakotan chant and a synthesized theme by Steve Reich."

  14. The first random thought on this fine Thursday afternoon is that it actually is Thursday and not Friday or Saturday. I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that my inner calendar/clock is a mess this week and I am not quite sure why, but I was convinced all day Tuesday that it was Thursday, and then I was also convinced all day Wednesday that it was Thursday. Now that it actually is Thursday I can’t decide if my brain is convinced that it is Friday or Saturday, which doesn’t make sense because I don’t work on Saturdays but I’ve been working all day today and still at times I’ve felt like it was Saturday.

    My brain is broken. Here’s a cat to make it feel better…

    Most work days fine me playing podcasts through the Apple HomePod that’s next to my desk in the new office space in my step son’s room. The last couple of days have been different. I’ve been listening to music. Today has been a playlist made up of all of Peter Gabriel’s original, non-soundtrack, non-cover/tribute records both as a solo artist and with Genesis. I made this playlist a few days ago with the idea being I would shuffle it. Today I started from the first track of his first solo record and let it run. The transition from his second record to his third is utterly stunning. The first two records are good. Not great, but good. The third… it’s weirder, it’s a totally different sound/approach/feel, and it is so infinitely better than what he did in the few years before it that it made my head spin a little. I just started album number five… So… I think it’s safe to say it is the masterpiece of his solo career and again the improvement is dazzling. 

    Here’s a cat to help you appreciate Peter Gabriel the freakin’ legend…

    It is January 25th today. It is 50 degrees outside. I actually went outside without a jacket on this morning. Granted, my shoes sank into the mud field that once was my yard, but other than that it was nice. This time of year the air can actually be painful if you go outside for a couple of quick minutes and are not bundled up. Today did not hurt at all.

    Okay, that will do for random thoughts as my lunch break ends. I have some paperwork to finish up today and then I am making hamburgers for dinner. My wife made that request last night and I am more than happy to oblige. 

    Happy Thursday afternoon, everyone… assuming it actually is Thursday. Who knows, right?
